In the $-A-Day Program, each sponsor gives one dollar per day ($365/year) to support the work of Hospice of Homer. HOH sends an invoice monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually; whatever works best for the sponsor. Sponsors are thanked in the Hospice newsletter and once a year in the Homer News. Names of sponsors are posted in the HOH office.

Transfer assets to a trustee and each year you and/or someone you have designated will receive income from the trust. The trust may last either for a term of years or for life. The trust allows you to receive an income tax deduction now, arrange for tax-free growth of retirement assets, and receive a retirement income from the trust when you retire. When the trust ends, the remaining trust assets will pass to Hospice of Homer.
